[920mclen]

i loved the tour van, spray paint galore w/"hippie freaks" painted on the side,

those were the days

[sloathtoad]

i think i saw steven agnew at the very last keeping people off stage LOL...one of the original "perchers" LMAO...

[johnwesleywalsh]

Oh wow does this bring back memories! I have not listened to this band in nearly 20 years. I saw them countless times here in Baton Rouge, LA, and every show was just as crazy and fun as depicted in this video. Thanks so much for posting.

[Wh1t3R1d3r]

I saw the show at SWSW when they got the plugged pulled when Mike started fuckin a jar of apple sauce...

[iain42]

Oh gawd I didn't know they ever had an official video. Saw them at least a dozen times at the DMZ. HAH

[gastonave]

Back when deep Ellum didn't suck.

[deepconog]

stupid austin hippies.

[PsiDeltaOmega]

Tragically, Mike has since fallen in with a rather rough crowd and holds company with the likes of Skerik, Stanton, Marco, Brad... was even spotted with A.B.

[CHAMCHARI]

Funny. Just watching "The Son-In-Law" and heard this song during the dorm check in scene. Saw these guys twice live. Awsome show.

[cw532]

Loved to see them in Deep Ellum in Dallas!!!!

[positivepressure]

Crowd surfin' and chocolate sauce in my hair! I miss you guys!!!

[lovesick5000]

Billy goat shows were always the best!!! i miss those days!

[Toddobvious]

So much/little to say here. The chorus wrestled with my brain for like a year. It wasn't to be helped: it's a monster hook! But then you listen to the lyrics and the structure, and then you understand why nobody cares. I feel bad for the girl who displayed herself, almost without fail, to all those brainless masses all that time. She is a beautiful woman. A couple of years later, Mike Dillon was scrounging the bottom of the barrel for players, and they only sounded good when Mike sat at a kit.

@Toddobvious

this is not one of my favorite of their songs, so many other brilliant ones! it was meant to be silly. Kim & Mike equally displayed themselves & enjoyed it! & are you crazy? Mike later had GoGo, JJ, Sid & Zac Baird in the band...Mike still plays with GoGo & JJ in the GoGo Jungle, & is now playing with Les Claypool & Ani Difranco, among others. Zac plays with Korn.

[Toddobvious]

@hennakim I'm glad to find out that Mike is still making music. I was always so impressed with his playing. I guess my comment was aimed at the Billy Goat lineup. Thanks for the update!

[acjclaker]

Many shows at one of the 10 Best Bars in the country. Ocean Mist, Matunick, Rhode Island. One night at the close of the show Mike lead the whole bar out the door and onto the beach with a percussion jam. The whole band and half the train of followers went for an impromptu swim. Always great shows with lots of intoxicants and sweat. You could drink all night and go home sober and exhausted.

[stabbinggrandma]

I went to many BG shows in Houston. I was only 16 then but I do remember the lead singer asking an audience member if he could titty fcuk her and she allowed. I stood there thinking, did I just see that? Bought the album, loved it. Wish I still had it. Oh, to be young again...

[jcdbarman]

used to love this band! always came to this little hole in the wall bar (reptile house) back in the day. thanks for posting! BTW he ALWAYS got naked!

[fellowworker]

It always got crazy at thier shows. Good stuff.

[DirtyFamilyBand]

Love the countdown... Cutting edge late 80's video Toaster effects.

[picrappo]

wait there was a lot nakedness at that show

[picrappo]

I remember the the singer dude was naked during the top ramen song

[guitarzrcool]

I saw Billy Goat and Spankys in Riverside. They blew away the metal bands playing that night.

[jscowell]

Does anyone know where i could get Bush Roaming Mammals? Been looking for years and have had no luck. Had it on tape back in the day but I wore it out.

[tedstryker1980]

check amazon .. like 40 some odd copies used starting at 1 cent,... have you really been looking for years?? ... I just found it in 2 seconds... not trying to be smart ... just sayin'...

[poorkingyou]

i played in a band in carbondale, il. called "POOR KING" we opened up for the "sexy goat" a few times. always a party. great band, even with the lights out! inside (hangar 9) joke! pieces, dan

[robinstigator]

I remember wearing the FUCK MORE BITCH LESS SHIRT for years.

[limestoneroad]

Billy Goat had the best live shows. I must have seen them live 20 times at least.

[JACkory]

I played in a band that opened for Billy Goat in 1993. It was the most bizarre show I've ever seen. By the time it was over with 2 guys in the band were butt naked and the girl had her shirt ripped off by the singer (she seemed a little peeved at this development, but who knows). In addition, 4 or 5 guys in the audiences were dancing around naked. Unfortunately the spectacle overshadowed the music, so I don't remember if I liked it or not.

[kiastar67]

Mike and Kim were lovers/Bf/GF.

[huerco]

man I had the pleasure to see them in Houston...great shows

[jdoncbus]

They used to play Columbus, OH (Staches) all the time. I know the lead singer had some nice bands Hairy Apes BMX and the Malachi Brothers.

"we're high.....walkin' on the doughnut."

[ibuprofenPill]

LOVED this band back in the day. The singer used to pour chocolate syrup all over himself after yelling "ANYONE WANT A SUNDAY?" and then dive in the crowd. What a helluva a time we had at their shows!

[pedroweiss]

I used to see them all the time, back in the day at Trees in Dallas. They had SUCH a good stage show.

[lightbringerrr]

I was the unfortunate bastard to come up bshind Earl Harvin and take over the drum chair. But you know what?

I kicked that band's history so hard, I was the only one who got a great review in the Dallas 'Whatever the Fuck' newspaper.

[lightbringerrr]

ADDENDUM: I guess I was actually number three because Matt Chaimberlin filled in for a while, and then they had some bald-headed dude whose name I can't remember. It's a shame the band got pegged with this tune because it had MUCH better songs than this. It was fun to play like the first 10 times, and then it was like "I now know how Slash feels everytime he has to fire up the opening riff to 'Sweet Child'". Ugh...

[DawnOftheMoon]

I let this dude check the cd out way back yrs ago and i never got the return. Found out he was on heroin and got a bump on his forhead we later referred to as the THIRD EYE. Anywayz, Im so glad to see this around! Thought I lost it forever.

[datphish6]

The mighty Billy Goat! What a killer band. Mike Dillon has gone on to some pretty phenomenal projects.

[ahazuk01]

Great to see this video online. This was one of the best shows that I have seen live. It was crazy, crowd surfing, slam dancing, battle scars for the next week. I saw them in the early 90s at the bottleneck in Lawrence, KS.

[SQUIDMACK]

Billy Goat was great I still got a long sleeve T. In Pan we trust.

[Jenditta]

This video is a good representation of what it was like to attend one of their live shows; insane amounts of food products strewn on and off stage. Lots of sweaty grunge folk having a good time.
